Take a serious look at Forever Black Tire dressing .. It is a water based dye and will last a couple of months .. I also use it on my black plastic lower valances to keep them black ..
Tried many tire dressings....not happy...

Very durable and produces a nice rich black. You won't get a semi-gloss or gloss shine from this but you will get a long-lasting tire dressing. I really like this product along with 303 for tires. Just a suggestion, but best of luck with your search.

Where do you buy this in Canada? preferably a retailer chain also located in Alberta

I got it through a tire dealer here "Tireland" I don't know if they are in Alta or not. I have seen it on the shelves in the US. I am sure if you sent an e-mail to them they could tell you who sells it in Alta .. go to www.foreverblack.com

Just to throw another one in the mix, I use Platinum's Gel. However, I fear that you might find it gummy, sticky because it is a gel. Good luck in the elusive search.

Also, Meguiars is going to have a NXT Generation rubber/vinyl dressing coming out. The list grows and grows!

Maybe you should preorder the Wheel and Tire Care Report and see which products finished on top and why.

It'll be a lot cheaper than buying all the dressings suggested in this thread.

I use Poorboys Bold N Bright now with great results. Megs # 40 is pretty good too.

I'm curious which exact 30+ tire products were tested
:up
I don't prefer a glossy finish on the tires, so I can't say for certain, but I do believe that you can apply BNB in a manner which will result in a glossy/shiny finish. You can also dilute the mixture with water for those looking for cost effectiveness. I am very satisfied with the appearance and durability of the product.

I've used it too and it does last a long time, no problem getting 3-4 week of good looking tires even after rain. Only real problem for me is the cost, which is about 3 times what I pay for Armor All (yes, Armor All) and when you go through as much as I do dressing the tires of anywhere from 2-8 vehicles a day (depending on what I am doing to the vehicles) I go through a gallon of tire dressing about every 3 weeks. I do use it on my own car though since it lasts so long and I just don't have a lot of time to spend on it.
I've been using Armor All for tires for about 2 years now. On my regular weekly wash customer's vehicles, the tires still look good the next week and it doesn't seem to build up like some other dressings do (especially the gels). It also has a very nice sheen without being too shiny (like the old formulation was).

And I was scared to say I used Armorall for fear of flames ... If applied right and buffed right you can get good life from Armorall and also gloss or matte finish and it dries to a no sling finish.
I also use a mold release agent that is like Armorall thats been distilled to 3 times the thickness... Not commercially available but leasts forever.

Mold release agent? Can you explain more? What is the name of the product? I only saw a product I believe is a mold release agent once on kanolabs.com

I will have to check the name/MFG. its sold in 55 gal drums .. not sure if its available in smaller containers. Its used to coat cast iron molds so molten Zinc/lead wont stick to them.
Based on recommendations here, I recently bought a can of AmorAll for use on wheel wells and tires. I found it a bit sticky/gummy when compared to PB's BNB, attracting much more dirt/dust. The durability was fine, and appearance was acceptable. I don't view it as a bad product, just better options out there, IMO.

Was this in a thread here ?
The best are:
1. 303
2. Zaino tire/rubber
3. Vinylex
I would suggest one coat of the Z, then topping with 303. Let each coat soak into the tire's skin. Wait at least 20 minutes then apply the next coat(303) after about 2 hours.
Like my friendly Zymol salesman once told me,,,,,,,,,,
"Remember, your tires skin, like your clear coat needs to breathe."
